Darnest things which Matt say. :How old is earth? Me: 4 billion years. Matt: How old is the oldest man?. Me: 100years. Matt: No, i mean oldest baby. Me: *thinking what he meant might be about mankind"..."2 million years", i replied.

another day. Matt: I wish all my toys are free when i get a new toy. His 7th birthday wish is that everyone is rich!

2 Jan 2010, we had 7th birthday party for matt. He's very excited about his new shrink wrapped board game toy and show off at the dinner table, full of drinks and food. the toy dropped and knocked down drinks creating a mess. "Lucky got plastic!!", came a relieved retort from Matt. The rest of us simply stared that the mess created and Matt's own view of the situation.

Funny one. Quotable quotes "Lucky got plastic".

2010-01-03T05:57:00.000-08:00

Who is the first man on the moon? Neil Armstrong. Quickly, Matt asked next "So who is the first man on the Sun?" Me "??!!!" *speechless*.

We continued this conversation in the car today. I asked if he would be the first man on the Sun. He said not, coz its too hot.

Victoria. The other day we were watching Planet 51 at Shaw Balestier. Rather loudly, Vic suddenly said "Hey, who's kicking!?".. .. then a few moments pause...."Who's kicking again!?".. her sharp voice broke the silence. She's a survivor that she is.

More "Kids say the darnest thing" live from Matt and Vic. The husband got a pot of venus flytrap plant. Very excitedly, Vic was describing to me how it all works. "When ah...the insect ah...land on it ah....then ah...*gasp for air* + *eyes very wide*... the venus fly trap very Quickly,..Slowly close!!".. She cupped both her hands to show how Quickly + Slowly works.

:-)

in early mid July, Matt enthusiastically came to me one evening when i'm back from work. 'who is the first man on the moon'? ...a little tired, i answered 'arm neilstrong'... a reply came from matt after a pause and a shrug,...'hmm....its not me.'. matter of factly.

next in end July, one of those conversation in the kitchen, when i just reached home.. vic brought up for uptempth time... 'mummy, i wanna go punggol...'..... she's been saying that when in JR, and when in PG, she says'i wanna check something from JR..."' or Í want to go Nai Nai house...'etcetc. she's always been the fish that swims against the tide...when we sleep she wants to wake..when we wake ...she wants to sleep...when we eat,..she wants to do something else...then we are full and happily enjoying the walk/swim/whatever,...she'll say..'i want to eat something'...just when at the most inconvenient moment. ...

back to the kitchen conversation...so i asked...'how to go punggol mydear?'....after a pause...'...by turning left,...and turning right.' matter of factly. *loss for words*... :D

very good answers kids have...'not me'and also 'turn left and turn right'. not wrong answers at all!...and kinda,..the more you think about it,..the funnier it gets.

Matthew fell from playground on 30may2009 and broke his right arm radius bone. been in a cast for a few weeks now.

Victoria's birthday, we went up to Malacca A'Farmosa. We went ahead inspite of matt's arm condition. on the 4th and last day night while having dinner, matt ran and fell again. this time bang his nose meet the stairs. some bruises on his other arm also. scared that anything is broken, we all packed and drove all the way home immediately. 12midnight reached home.

Mum twisted her ankle also in mid June one Friday. Went to see tuinah at ToaPayoh. Only until following Tue that we went to Polyclinic to see xray and realise there is a fracture. So, matt, mum, yi ge 'pai kar', yi ge 'pai chew'. following week in July 15 Philip also went for lasik. 'tok bak'also. for a week, jalan rajah seems like a hospital ward. ... in a funny way.

Found right infront of the ladder of the double decker bed (gotten from ladybug playground).
Talk about strategic placing. =P

Question: What is the sport where everyone catches grasshoppers?

Answer: Cricket.

2007-10-15T04:55:00.001-07:00

Saturday 13 Oct, 10am bathed 2 kids. 11 am ready to go YeYe NaiNai's place. But first detour to JR to pick up some stuff. Bought stew duck from whampoa mkt at the same time. 12noon lunch in Jurong. GuMa came by with KorKor Ken and ZheZhe Karina. The kids went wild. 3pm head to Spore Discovery Centre. Idea is to watch 3D Sharks movie. Tea at the cafe of half boiled eggs. 4pm ZZzzzzzzz ... the two kids. *sigh* 5pm - movie, both wake up again. caught the movie. That night, everyone head home to punggol tired but happy. (doesn't all chinese zhuowen has this kind of ending?) :-) More paper cutting at home, more pickup morsels from floor. More toys inexplicably migrated to every nook and cranny of the house. Victoria is a genius at paper cutting. This occupies her no end. Sunday made dough from flour. Matt helped with the flour stirring. More crumbs on the floor. The ants and spiders are having a field day.

2007-10-15T04:31:00.000-07:00

The story was not finished at the shop with police toys. Finally I said that the toy is for 7 years and above. Matthew " Are you more or less than 7 years old?" Yes I am. "Then if its your birthday I will buy for you" Matthew continued. Why would Mummy at ripe old age of 35 require police toy? Only so that Matthew could have it I guess.

Matthew is watching me write this blog, he prompted me to print this. Matthew says " i like to be happy. " "I like to jump around."

Matthew's favourite playground -
1) Ladybug playground
2) Giraffe playground
3) Moo Moo cow playground

Last night went to the shops to get crackers with matthew. He spied some plastic toys...those types with paper cupboard backing, very old style. One of the toys is a police kit, complete with mini handcuffs, baton guns the usual. He said " Mummy, i want this toy so I can lock ah mei up.".

Hmm... devious thoughts for a 4yr old tot. "why?"..." Bcos ah mei always so naughty lor".. hmm...So what happens if I buy for ah mei also? then she also lock you up. "Then I will destroy the toy." Matthew said matter of factly.

These moments of enlightenment with 2 tots... I never pen them down fast enough.

Same evening... "Look mummy"..pointing to the sky. " The aeroplane is going to bang the star". ..:-) So I (aka Mummy) looked up and try my best to express anticipation that we may be witnessing an impending disaster - of a airplane clashing into a star. As the plane's blinking lights flew past the stars...we both sigh a hugh sigh of relief.

I need to explain that to him one day.

2007-09-16T18:19:00.001-07:00

More words of wisdom...

Matthew float or sink?

[MATT] Matthew sink....but if you are tiny like a ant, you float.

On an outing with Matt's school to Sentosa Under water world, we reckon that matt must be running around in a crowded place to see the sharks. Teacher Wee could have threatened to feed him to the sharks. So when he's back, he's sad. Another conversation with him in the car...

"Mummy you must take a plastic bag and collect ,...my brain,...my ears,...my bones..."

Apparantly we are imagining that he has been eaten by the shark. So I continued the dreamscape and brought his "body" bag to the doctor. So what did the doctor do, I quizzed him. "He use sticky tape". 8-)

woah...sticky tape to tape back the ears, bones etc. So next day, continues the dreamscape,...when he goes to school, his friends will exclaim - Matthew, why your ear has sticky tape? he ponders to himself.

For the un-initiated Ee Ee who slept over during 1 weekend. Ee Ee was tasked to chaprone Victoria at night. As everyone settles down for the night, a small voice cried out in the darkness....

Just when Ee Ee thinks that the worst is over...In the middle of the night...

Tea Leaves Egg
Da Ee made tea leaves egg this week and they were getting more fragrant by the 2nd day. Eggs are stewed with their shells on and cracked so that the herbs will be absorbed. I started to peel 1 egg to share with the kids. Victoria had it and wanted to hold it in her hands the egg that was peeled. As she held it in her tiny hand, she said - web. spider web. I eat spider web.

That was all coming from her little mind. nobody suggested that to her.

I am continually amazed by what the kids could absorb and then generate new thought all the time.

Victoria is good with singing and coming up with new 'excuses'. She had a nice piece of cake, which Da Ee is trying to convince her to share. Vic draw away her hand which was holding the goodie and offered Da Ee another nice sweet. Da Ee did not take the sweet and persisted. Vic say ..look at the bird!.. huh..its is at night in Da Ee's room where got bird. Good ah..ah mei. try to distract.

When its time to drink milk also,...ah mei say 'milk too hot'.. even before she touch it. when that did not work on grandma...she say ' spill spill'....when she haven't start to drink yet. or she will say things like 'I am sick...must eat me-dee-sern'.... It has been raining this 2 months...she is very pre-occupied with 'brella...brella..' must have the 'brella' every where she go. in the house ...in the lift ...in the car..

Matt started 'Thunder storm' school...PCF...Nursery.. Class D for Dragonfly in afternoon session from 12.30pm - 3.30pm. He had a few episodes of crying when grandma send him to school...even vomitted on one occasion. Not sure why yet. let him settle down for a month and monitor.

2006-11-20T05:08:00.000-08:00

Victoria is running a fever since yesterday. When she is sick, she will want Daddy, Mummy, Grandma - in that order of preference. Mostly Daddy. All day and all night - no kidding. And very fussy, as fussy as her mummy. :)
She loves to hum and sing to herself, often exchanging lyrics using her own words.

Victoria can say A to Z but does not recognize each alphabet yet. She is good with words, saying full phrases and good descriptions. Like when she is in pain,..she will say "Pain Pain,..got blood come out already". complete with doleful look.

Matthew has also grown. He can plan ahead, logical thinking, story telling. Started one morning when he was laughing in his sleep. When awake, grandma asked what he dreamt. He said he was on snow mountain (perhaps playing with snow?) and with friends playing. WOW!

Now he says when he eats lunch and dinner he grow taller (his fav word) and taller and taller until in the sky! He will take one star for Mummy one star for Daddy and for everybody.

I asked him how much he loves mummy, he said alot alot. I asked how many stars, he said 5. And Daddy? - 5. And Grandma? - 6! And Victoria? - 2 .. Why? Cos sister is TWO years old.

funny boy.

:D

2006-06-25T21:28:00.000-07:00

My my, have the kids grew in a few short months. Victoria passed her 2nd birthday with simple coffee bean cake with blue icing and dolls in swimming pool. She is a very determined child (read stuborn too) with a fury temper. Matthew is very easy going but pushes vic when aggitated.

Last weekend reads like this
saturday
- pull out the DIY swimming pool float and 2 kids had a splash just outside door
- movies from neighbour
- walks in the evening while mummy enjoys Firewall by Harison Ford in peace
- in-house soupy lunch and dinner
sunday
- more movies
- more walks at the sengkang library
- going crazy at timezone
- Yoshinoya lunch
- more movies
- walk with mummy at new playgrounds downstairs and met Anna and Archar eruasian kids.
- jig-saw puzzle - the one showing eye, mouth, hands, legs etc.

Health log: both kids having dry cough. no phlagem, and only during early mornings like 6am.

School break for 2 wks and started already.

2006-04-03T18:36:00.000-07:00

here is matthew's and vic's take on the world since they could talk....

Through my kids' eyes, i now know that...

- the zig-zag lines near zebra-crossing is called 'broken' road to a 3 yr old.
- a passenger chair lowered to sleeping position is called 'spoil already' for a 2 yr old used to seeing it in upright position.
- its easy to melt mummy's heart, just after you just broke the new 2 ltr bottle of ribena, splashing in sea of red syrup ... by having the most innocent look on the face and in most innocent voice says 'How?'
- it takes 10,000 repeatition of abc song, twinkle twinkle little start song during the drive from jalan rajah to punggol.
- that there are a grand total 5 churches and 3 mosques along the road from jalan rajah to punggol.

(health log: matt n vic having runny nose+phelgm since mid-mar)

2006-01-31T17:52:00.000-08:00

Chinese New Year 2006 means 5 solid days of staying with the kids. Been chalking up my popularity polls with the kids. Lying by the playground slide with Matt, watching the clouds roll by. Chasing after mei mei for all the countless mischief she's up to.

Tried out disciplining Matthew using time out. Made him sit in corner to reflect wrong doings. Seems to be working as he is able to repeat 'Thou shalt not...punch meimei/kick/push/spit" mantra after time out (count 1 - 10) and before drifting off to sleep. To hand slapping and shouting, he just response in kind. better to win his heart.

2006-01-25T18:22:00.000-08:00

Grandpa and Grandma visited chinatown to pay up for their cny vacation. Daddy and Mummy drops everyone off at chinatown point(ctp). Nice stroll for kids at ctp since it is single sloping lane all the way in the mall. No problem with kids rounding out of mummy's sight. After all the running and sloping, Matt fell asleep, while Victoria guzzle up all the ice drinks. She is a Ice Baby who will grow up into Ice Queen. (loves Ice).

2006-01-19T19:29:00.000-08:00

CDROM - Review. Matthew's Thursday's itinarary. Wakes up from afternoon nap at 7pm. Eats dinner. Swimming at civil service club. Matt and Mummy the Dynamic Duo Demolished all evil monsters found at baby pool. Starts to rain. Checks out sega games. Rain stops. Feed the fish/loi. Checks out all 4 floors of club. Drew hand tatoos. Plays Dr Seuss Preschool. Sorted socks, matched numbers and alphabets. Stacked turtles. Sleep.

*wheew* All That in 3 hours which packs in more actitivities than Mummy's day job in 1 week.

2006-01-18T17:33:00.000-08:00

Matthew the artist has produced yet another great artwork. He calls it the Great Space Adventure. Starring Alphabets, Bears, Hearts, lost in Space.

At the end of this Great Space Adventure, there was space dust everywhere in the living room. Some already go swept under the carpet, still some more coyly hidden under unsuspicious cushion of the sofa.

Boy, was it some Adventure. No Space Travel for Matthew for a while.

2006-01-17T17:50:00.000-08:00

Its amazing what a few pieces of colored paper, a glue stick can come together for 1 hour of child's play. We made finger+footprints cutouts, pasted them on black paper. Matt used glue sticks to spread glue over his palms, sole, and voila - he is an alien with right green palm left blue palm. And then he is super man with wrist cuffs. In between all this fun and running around with new 'costume', he took a Okay Pocky snack.

2006-01-15T20:11:00.000-08:00

In between retail therapy at Toa Payoh, I also visited the library. You can really do wonderful stuff with premium membership ($20 per year) . I had mine and matthew's card bumbed up to premium. Hubby carries his and victoria's card. We signed them up for lib membersip as soon as they are born.

Kudos and v. generous to Library to ramp up twice the limit during Nov 1 05 to 21 Jan 06. Means, between mine and matthew's card, i can borrow up to 16 CDROMS!!! That is all i borrowed actually. Matt don't read books (yet), all his toddler learning is from cdroms.

its a hit or miss when checking out titles. here is a sample:
-IQ eng lang games (ng)
-2 oxford reading tree sw (ok, but for older kids)
-seasame street art workshop (ok, for art palette)
-seasame street create n draw
-disney's winnie the pooh animated story (ok,not for short attention span)
-disney's mickey mouse toddler (nice graphics, i recommend)
-magic 3d coloring book
-mega puzzle pack
-early essentials - dos graphics and sound. nice concept but lost on outdated graphics
-sticky bear's kindergarten activities (ok, teaches coutersey for kids, like do not jump on furniture)
-kidstime delux (ng)
-abc and 123 (recommended for a kids starting to learn about ABC and 123, like matthew) its fun and not too tacky with animation
-spider in the kitchen (teaches about sequence - how to make a sandwich, behind, under etc, find the spider) recommended for someone like matt. this one got his attention.
-creation corner
-dr seus preshcool. nice collection of story with interaction to solve problems. matt played this one.

Recommend:

2006-01-15T20:04:00.000-08:00

Magic Ball. Matt's fav. He actually knows how to catch the ball in priority over catching other bonus drops. Initially, he catch only the bonus drops but not catch the ball so it will die. The little sheeps or cows or penguins makes a sound and flies into the air when they are hit by the ball. Which is very funny to a 3 year old.
Matt takes over the shooting part after catching the gun bonus. I play it when there is no shooting.
Oh yeah, out of the level 49 (still more to go), Matt knows how to look for a specific layout and play it. Tests his memory and locating a game layout. He especially like the CAR or TRAIN layout. or with cows for reasons mentioned above.

Feeding Frenzy - Matt's Fav. Matt love being a shark.

2006-01-15T19:32:00.000-08:00

Half a month into 2006 already.

Victoria is staying at Jurong. Matthew at Jalan Rajah this week. I went for retail therapy over the weekend and splurge $65 at toa payoh popular bookstore. Mostly art and craft items to entertain Matt and Vic on rainy days or in car or at resturants. Here is what i got:-

-scrapbook kit with stickers and colorful papers
-finger painting kit
-lots of stickers (matt can say 'sticker book')
-winnie the pooh stencil set (most expensive of today's buy $12.90)
-glitter gel pens x 4 (i try to pick up hand tattoo)
-1 stencil for tatto
-color paper (nice to get cut up by little hands)
-blank paper (nice to get mounted on for art work)
-glitter shapes
-glue stick
-double sided tape
-kindergarten workbook by chinese publisher (only 2.90!, a thick colored workbook too!)
resisted the urge to buy anymore puzzles. even though there is a hugh lot of them (winnie the pooh) at popular at a obscure corner most bottom shelf.

The last time I splurged >$100 at Borders on sticker books and crafts. Much cheaper to shop at popular i think.

Came home and opened the winnie the pooh stencil set and did a grand total of 15 mins of his attention. mostly i stencil while he sticks and jumping around with stenciled paper to make the 'butterfly' fly around.

then he promptly went back to playing Ricochet - a Magic Ball , variation. Maybe i will post a picture of what computer games Matt is playing at the moment. :)

It is 2006! We just celebrated Matthew's 3rd bday at Conrad hotel (grandma's 1st prize lucky draw during xmas eve line dance party). Got a Centennial Suite with breakfast for 2 at oscar's thrown in. Played games - Thanks to Ee Ee (GameMaster), we pulled off the whole event with so much fun and blue tongue and all.

Matt is 14.5 kg, 1 m tall. He can type 'MATT' on to the computer high score games and login id. :D *proud* parents. :) i guess its the sign of the times. A 3 yr old can TYPE his name first before writing it. He knows computer jagon like 'download', 'install', 'hang', 'cd-rom' etc. He has also weaned off pacifier since

Victoria is at in-law grandma and grandpa's house in Jurong from 11-13 Jan. Matthew at Jalan Rajah as he has to attend playgroup at Whampoa CC - Talent Plus. Victoria has taken to crying every other hour. While Matthew crave for Milk-Milk at 11pm, 4am, 6am. Talk about sleep deprevation.

2005-11-18T01:03:00.000-08:00

First, daddy is away for one week ( Sunday Nov 13 to Friday Nov 18 )
Next goes Mummy on Tuesday Nov 15
Big thanks to grandma

Matthew at the barber's for hair cut. He has to be brave yet again....for whole of 5 minutes. After the first few snips, the prickly-ness of the fallen hair got too much for him. It was all hell (..and tears and saliva and nose snort..) broke loose. Now he looks as handsome as Daddy. Same cut. Same look.

2005-09-25T18:20:00.000-07:00

Got Ice Cream? :P Matthew having ice cream after a swim at Hougang Swimming Pool. He bravely slide down from the slide into the swimming where mummy's open arms are waiting to catch him. Can see his face turned from glee at the top of slide to panic nearer down where a certain SPLASH awaits him. He managed to be brave two times. :D

2005-09-18T17:13:00.000-07:00

Got Milk?

2005-09-14T19:21:00.000-07:00

Like mother, like daugther. We went for our usual 'Go Walk Walk' in the evenings 8pm-9pm at United Square. Sat on every kiddie ride, walking happily (painfully for parents) through Toys-R-Us. Other go walk walk days include a visit to the library at toa payoh or civil service club to feed fish and watch people bowl.

2005-09-14T19:16:00.000-07:00

My first schoolwork. :D 'Draw Frog' was the first thing Matthew said after emerging from his play school. Flapping enthusiastically his artpiece proudly in the air for grandma to see.

After Matthew got well from his fever, it was Victoria's turn. That lasted 3 days. After Victoria got well, Matthew is back to his fever on 28/7.

During all this time, Mummy got that flu bug, Grandma too, and the maid. And when Da Yee (aka Hazel) got back from Australia on 21 July, she came down with flu yesterday. Thankfully we all got well now.

When the flu bug comes around, its a pandemic in the household.

Total medical bill for June/July pandemic - $500
Immunity for this bug - priceless

On Friday, I got a new Pet....not one...but TWO! Turrrtur, Tuurrtur....Twoo.
That is how Matthew pronounce it. He diligently carried them with two hands all the way back from Whampoa Market.

I only count the remain surviving days of the poor turtles. Their days are numbered.
